Dire straights indeed. Elizabeth and Will arrested.
On their wedding day. Condemned to death. For aiding and abetting a
criminal.Jack Sparrow. Captain
Jack Sparrow.Who we then see shooting
his way out of a floating coffin.

After that it gets silly with Jack the
god-king-captive of a gang of savages in the very worst of stereotype parody –
but it’s funny and rollicking and exciting.

There’s not enough story to disturb the action or
the laughs. It seems to be about Davy Jones’s locker and the heart locked into
it because of unrequited love and Jack has to find it because...well, I’m not
really sure why.Even watching it the
third time I don’t quite get it.But that’s
OK. It’s not for the intellectual profoundness that one watches The Pirates
of the Caribbean, now is it?

Come to think of it though, a bit more story
wouldn’t hurt.And it does rather go on
a bit.

So not the completely on-target hit of the first one
but it still has laughs and nail-biting. Like much of the rest of the world I
simply love Jack Sparrow. I love Bill
Nighy as well even if he has evil writhing yucky suction tentacles all over his
face.
